NEW DELHI: Former England captain Michael Vaughan narrated his ordeal during a horrific incident at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach, where suspected shooters opened fire, killing ten people and injuring several others.

Vaughan, who is in Australia as a broadcaster for the ongoing Ashes 2025-26 series, took to social media to share his "scary" experience, while also thanking the emergency services for their swift response.

"Being locked in a restaurant in Bondi was scary .. Now home safe .. but thanks so much to the emergency services and the guy who confronted the terrorist .. thoughts with all who have been affected .. xxx," Vaughan wrote on X.

A video circulating widely on social media captures a courageous bystander confronting an armed man. In the one-and-a-half-minute clip, the civilian can be seen tackling the rifle-wielding individual and eventually seizing his weapon. The gunman is believed to be one of the attackers involved in the incident.

The shooting unfolded at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach, one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations. Gunmen opened fire, sending people fleeing in panic and seeking cover. Footage from the scene showed several bodies lying on the ground, capturing the chaos and terror of the attack.

"We heard the shots. It was shocking; it felt like 10 minutes of just bang, bang, bang. It seemed like a powerful weapon," Camilo Diaz, a 25-year-old student from Chile, told AFP.
